Prospective faculty & sessionals
Prospective faculty
Join us at one of Canada’s leading research universities.
Our department is recognized for its strengths in both research and teaching. Areas of faculty research include cultural anthropology, visual anthropology, archaeology and biological anthropology. We endeavour to forge creative connections between anthropology’s traditional subfields with our integrative research themes.
All faculty members have active research programs and publish regularly in academic journals and with leading university presses. They have made important contributions locally, regionally and internationally.
We have an active colloquium series, hosting speakers from across Canada and internationally, as well as local scholars and community members.
Sessional lecturers
We consider PhD students for teaching positions. Students will be required to have advanced to candidacy to be considered, although exceptions are sometimes made based on previous teaching experience.
Positions for sessional lecturers are posted by May for winter session and by January for summer session.
Sessional lecturers are covered by a collective agreement between CUPE Local 4163 and UVic.
